                                According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), unwashed produce is a significant source of foodborne illness outbreaks. This is precisely why must we wash grapes we buy from the market before consuming them, even if they look clean. Beyond visible dirt, grapes can harbor unseen pathogens and chemical residues that pose a serious health risk.
